This partnership means there will be new tasks for Effect Force users, so it has a real impact on the platform. If you read the medium post, you will see that Singapore's goverment made a deal with Quadrant Protocol and asked them to map and categorize a geographic entities. I'm not sure what value could bring partnerships with IOTA opr ICON, but I know Effect is in close relations with NEO team.
Close relationships with the NEO team do not guarantee the success of the project, especially if you take into account that the EFFECT team does not have the necessary experience.
True, but TBH there is no partnership that can guarantee success for a project. It is always hard work of development team, and a bit of luck, and I'm pretty sure Effect team is trying their best to launch their M-Turk platform for public.
It does not matter what kind of partnership the team has. It does not matter how active the team is. The main problem is the unstable market. While this situation persists, we will not see a price increase.
